Great question! I love lots of things about Judy. Her talent was immense and her wit and outspokenness are still legendary. That’s probably the biggest thing for me, that she spoke her mind and help to break the stereotype of the submissive woman. I think women today owe her and some of her contemporaries some thanks for being role models who were unafraid to speak up.
Congratulations Carl! You’ve just won a copy of the book! I will email you tomorrow. If you don’t receive the email please let me know. Thanks for entering and enjoy!
Judy Garland gave us her heart and soul ♥♥♥
What I love most about Judy Garland is her ability to convey pathos in so many diverse roles. Many people think of her as a song-and-dance woman with such hits as “The Wizard Of Oz”, “Meet Me In St. Louis”, “The Harvey Girls” and others. But Garland did some amazing dramatic roles where she didn’t sing a note or dance a step but made the audience feel the sadness, desperation, anger, and frustration of her character. Some of my favorites:
– The Clock (1945) – Garland understated honest working girl is the perfect pairing with to Robert Walker’s boy-next-door somewhat bumbling serviceman that gives the film its subtle sweetness
– Judgment At Nuremberg (1961) – Although Garland’s role here isn’t a large one, it’s very potent as a witness for the prosecution and I especially admire how her breakdown during the second cross-examination is realistic and not overdone. Something that I think is very difficult for an actor to pull off.
– A Star Is Born (1954) – although Garland has some great performances in this film (especially the after-hours nightclub performance of “The Man That Got Away”, the film is more of a drama than a musical and Garland is so endearing as the perky rising star while still showing her unfailing love and loyalty to falling star James Mason. This is one rare example where the remake is better than the original and I think that’s mainly due to Garland and Mason.

What I love most about Judy Garland is her singing, especially “Over the Rainbow”!
